It is different but a 'huge' difference - hmm, I guess I would say thats subjective, but def a different tone/depth - both very nice colors and indeed as someone's mentioned, Porsche Agate seems closer to MG whereas the OP's grey is 'softer' or lighter, or what seems to me a 'flatter' grey - entirely personal observation, and obviously not w/o bias , but I prefer the MG as I like the darker tone. I suspect also, as you say, that up close and personal the Individual paint will look exceptional.

(1.) OP got the exact car he wanted for a fair price to him (2.) Why oh why do people whine about paint cost? Its 95% of what you see everytime you see your fecking car (3.) When did this forum become the Miser's Guide to Car Buying? Is anybody here looking for ways to spend their car dollar smarter? I thought the whole point of the forum was a celebration of the personality disorders that cause us to spend ridiculously. * Carbon fiber mirror caps? good move! * $10,000 exhaust? the only sensible choice! * i don't have laser tail lights! Reasonable complaint. As far as I'm concerned $7.5K for this paint is a steal! Ha Ha BMW, you got played! |

Anyone who thinks this looks the same as mineral grey has gotta be color blind. One is a metallic paint, one is not.
Amazing color choice...

Porsche really gets you with their options. Seriously need to add 25% more to the base price to really get a decent car from them (not something totally vanilla). But gotta love Porsche. Best brand out there

You have to park these cars next to each other and use the same camera to get an appreciation for the difference. Using photos from a different camera in dark lighting aren't going to give a good comparison. To me this is darker than mineral gray but not quite as dark as the M5/6 Singapore gray. But as others have said, the OP got the car of his dreams and is one of a kind. The 5k paint is just an extra 50-100 bucks a month on the payments I see no issue with the decision. |

Tell me about it. I recently ordered a 991 GTS and ended up with "only" $11K worth of options

Thank you to everyone.
I won't have the car back for better pics until the end of this coming week. By then I should have most of the mods done and will take some better pics. But Take my word for it. It doesn't look like MG in person. |
